On Saturday, the fire broke out near the emergency ward at the country’s top medical institute, leaving four floors of the teaching block partially damaged.

National Disaster Response Force commandant P K Srivastava said his team, along with fire officials, had to use oxygen cylinders to get past the smoke-filled staircase and reach the rooftop to create an outlet for the smoke.

Around 80 patients of the gynaecology department were shifted from the emergency ward to the Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences (RPC) after the fire broke out in the teaching block, said Dr Aswini Behera, a senior resident at RPC.

A firefighter who handled operations Sunday said the floors have been completely gutted: “I saw the damage firsthand... There were a lot of obstacles blocking the entries and exits. That could have been avoided.”

The realisation that portions of the affected floors have turned to ashes has also triggered anxiety about the fate of theses papers and other documents, which were mostly stored in the offices of senior faculty members. Till Saturday, there were hopes that many papers could be salvaged.
